Biography
Jeff Neumann spent his childhood in New Mexico, California and Massachusetts. Although he lives in Upstate New York, the Southwest continues to inspire his art. He visits as often as he can. He uses his photos from road trips as references for his oil and watercolor paintings.
Neumann worked as a radio disc jockey, a graphic designer, art director and advertising account executive before beginning a marketing career in the fine art papers industry, where he was employed for 20 years.
In 2005 he left the corporate world to earn his M.Ed. degree in Visual Arts. He has taught art at the high school and adult levels. From 2009 to 2019 he owned Neumann Fine Art Gallery in Hillsdale, NY, where he represented nine artists. Since 2019 he has focused full time on painting.
